What is B. cereus?
B. cereus, or Bacillus cereus, is a type of bacteria commonly found in soil and food. It can produce toxins that cause food poisoning, and is often associated with foods that have been improperly handled or stored. B. cereus can also cause infections in wounds and other parts of the body. While most people recover from B. cereus infections without major complications, the bacteria can be more severe in people with weakened immune systems. Proper food handling and storage practices can help prevent B. cereus contamination.
